Ruben,

Speaking of AGFA, I just finished the last of a batch of
Portrait 160 that I had in 3 cameras.  Never in my life
have I ever seen such MUDDY prints!  I ruined many
shots of our brand new Occicat.

A few years back, Costco's Kirkland brand of film
was made by Agfa, and it was brilliant.  It was my
standard 200 ISO film.  They dropped that film and
I went to Kodak Ultracolor 400.

Don't expect me to shed a tear on their demise.
